Day 5

I feel like staying up forever. Sleep is getting harder. I woke up from the pain and hunger at 6am. I decided to take some Hydrocodone, which is liquid vicodin, for those that are not aware. I jump back in bed to suddenly feel like I just did 5 shots of Patron on an empty stomach. Dizzy and nauseus, this sucked. As soon as I woke up, I emailed my bosses to let them know that I am not going in on Monday. Of course they didn't reply because they probably don't believe me. My friends are even asking me what I am doing this weekend. UMMM I just had my tonsils taken out, let's be serious now. Every one is shocked to hear that I am still recouping. I'm not. I did plenty of research before getting into this mess. As you may know, it takes adults much longer to heal than children. Full recovery time for this surgery is 3 weeks! My voice has a much higher pitch today, but I still sound deaf. By the way, I am supposed to be going to Hong Kong on the 22nd. My doctor does not think it is safe considering it is a 16 hour flight. I don't know what to do!! Do I want to risk my life for a tiring 3 day business trip to a city that I have already been to? NO. Anyway, I figured out what my problem is with eating. I am so damn impatient. It took me 45min to finish HALF of a banana. I feel like most of my week was spent on trying to eat. I was 125.6 on Tuesday and now I am officially 120.2! I am no longer bloated so you can actually tell a little bit. 
So I refuse to continue with my painkillers and I am vowing to be more patient with my food. I am suffering of boredom now. Luckily, this week has been gorgeous outside so I got to relax in my yard and catch a tan. It's Friday night and I wish I was able to go out. No one is even home with me. Ahh poor Lauren...
